A sampling of The Macallan scotch being poured

Invites from The Macallan are never to be turned down. Case in point: The recent launch of the spirit brand’s latest scoth, M by The Macallan, was a treat for lovers of the good life. Ken Grier, director of malts for parent company The Edrington Group, hosted 30 tastemakers at Soho Beach House for a cocktail reception and then a dinner paired with a variety of Macallan scotches. Brand ambassador Kieron Elliott led guests through the tasting, which was one of the first to be held in the United States. The grand reveal came at the end of the evening when Elliott opened a Lalique decanter of M and shared it with attendees. Photography by Gesi Schilling
